Yes! My point exactly! WTF ! How do you Fringe people bring back someone from the dead without an explanation??? Agent Charlie Francis’s body was put in the incenerator and you had better have a bloody concrete explanation as to why he is miraculously back on the job or I tell you, im not watching anymore!!!

This relly ticked me off seeing agent Francis alive!!! I just started watching Fringe, but i recently have stoped due to idiocy. Such a good show, to bad they ruined it.

Actually, I figure I’ll just tell people to watch it at any point during the first season since it’s one of those random case episodes, that doesn’t affect the main underlying plot.

Just watched this myself. I’m kinda jamming this episode in between the first episode of the season and before Charlie was killed. In memory.

So despite being the eleventh episode, if I ever come to watch season two again, I’ll be watching this in a place that makes some sense.

If I recommend the second season to anyone, I’ll be sure to tell them to do the same. =D

Damnnn… I just saw this eposide today (mexico) dont you think is part of the plot? When Olivia came back from the other universe, the fbi agent sid that the car was empty and that a guy was saw walking away from the car… My guess: Agent Francis from the other universe came with Olivia, as same as Peter Bishop…

The Fringe episode airings have gotten so screwed up that I’m beginning to think the show is set to be cancelled. First of all they’ve been airing episodes that were probably rejected last season instead of new episodes that continue the main storyline. Did they stop filming new episodes entirely? I love the show but it’s so screwed up now that I wish the producers would come forward and give us a real status report.

Tuesday’s episode was actually a lost episode from Season 1. They never aired the episode because they feared that it might cause some controversy concerning religion and politics. So, that episode wasn’t meant for this season but was given to audiences as a bonus. They will return regularly on Thursday starting tomorrow with Season 2 episodes.

Season 2 Episode 11 is definitely meant to be aired during Season 1 but somehow got mix-up here in 2010 (FOX has us all confused and really testing our viewing loyalty)…Because you can see here that Agent Astrid hair is LONG…last episode 10 she had a haircut.

Has anyone stopped to consider the title of this show? Evidently it has a double meaning: one for the Fringe Universe and one for our own. I have no great love of Fox for what they’ve done to some series, but I believe in the possibility of this episode’s air date not being a screw up. Then again, one may argue that this episode was specifically chosen to be cut when the first season was cut down so that they could still air it at a later date as filler if the need arose. Oh, the possibilites!

Dumb. Al they had to do was begin the episode with a super saying that it took place in the past and all would have been well.

The executives at Fox have recently made a habit out of screwing up good scifi. Take Joss Whedon’s Firefly for example. They showed episodes out of order with that as well.
I hope that the days are numbered when a single network can just end a promising series like that.

the network guys really screwed up. They should put that old episode in some dvd or whatever. This says a lot how they respect the viewers.

What a waste of energy, my mind went into over drive trying to workout where the plot was going with a dead man clearly alive. I thought it was a parallel reality and fringe had kicked up the season a notch. Now I know they fell on their face and wasted my time

yeah why agent charlie francis is still in the film ???

Apparently the conclusion to this episode will air ~~tonight~~ Thursday night. So be prepared for yet another Agent Francis appearance. As for Jon’s comparisons, I hope he’s right. Unfortunately I think Fringe’s time in the spotlight is ticking down and we’ll be lucky to see a third season, IMHO.

Old episode for sure, when they go to the gym, you can see there is a poster on the wall about some fight that is coming on may 27th or something.

I was a bit confused too. Besides the previous explanation regarding intended air dates, this could also be a sign that the shows themselves take place in alternate universes. It’s not that far of a stretch, given that the story arc includes travel between at least one set of parallel universes. Still, I haven’t noticed any other quirks that support the theory, so who knows.

I was surprised too! I was so bummed to see him go but totally confused to see him back. Made no sense with no explanation. Lame!

I’ve been badly surprised too, when I saw Agent Charlie Francis! This is really bad… Why the #$%?@ they did that? Are they aware that Every people will notice that this guys is supposed to be dead? We are not Dumb! What was this “old” episode? They paid so much to produce it and they wanted to put it somewhere! What a Shame!

This show and the hot red head are so much better than many of the other shows that his will pass without incident. I noticed the ghost partner right away and looked for a reason on the web last night to no avail, but I really appreciate the insight. Thank you for that, but the show will go on. Along with Supernatural, American Idiot, Survivor (stopped watching that one), Stargate, Eureka, Heroes (Close to being like “Lost”, which lost me last year) and the ones on the edge…Warehouse 13, Legend of the Seeker, V, Sanctuary, and Medium (still an ok show). My best picks for next season to watch are Fringe, Supernatural, Stargate, Eureka, I liked Eleventh Hour and best of all…..”Lie to Me”. The only way to top that should would be to bring back the Omega Man Series. I also wish they would being back “Life”, the cop on that show was also in Band of Brothers and he’s an excellent actor.

At first I thought it was kinda like Fred’s character in Angel, keeping the actor on while changing the character, but it’s very confusing seeing a dead character magically come back with no explanation due to idiocy by execs. Shall we get the pitchforks and storm the castle? :D
